After we spent quite a long time on planning and testing, we’re pleased to tell you that our very own absinthe, the Blanche Neige, is now available in a full-sized 500ml bottle.
Absinthe Blanche Neige 500ml
Blanche Neige is the name for our true, Swiss La Bleue from the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe. This absinthe is distilled by Gaudentia Persoz, one of the world’s most talented absinthe distillers, who has achieved great success with her own absinthes.
What makes Blanche Neige that extra bit different is a precious and priceless ingredient, Génépi. This aromatic herb, from the Wormwood family, grows wild in the Alps. What sets it aside from other blanche absinthe is the much larger variety of herbs.
The Blanche Neige won the gold medal in the category of Blanche absinthes at the Absinthiades 2014.
We’ve been searching for the perfect 500 ml bottle to suit blanche Blanche Neige for a long time, so we are very pleased to present you our final design. These are the first 500ml bottles available, and they are exclusively at Absinthes.com.
Blanche Neige, the French word for Snow White. As white as snow, the louche of our Blanche Neige is beautiful.The snow-flake motif makes Blanche Neige perfectly for Christmas and wintertime.Discover Blanche Neige and its final design here!
Tasting notes
Spirits aficionado Andrew White spent some time with Blanche Neige and had this to say:
Colour: Clear, with a very subtle yellow-greenish hue, hinting at rich herbs.
Aroma: Suggests the scent of an Alpine meadow carried on the breeze. Fruity and with a feminine aspect.
Louche: Builds pleasingly steadily, turning Blanche Neige evenly opaque; white without becoming chalky. Take care to add water slowly.
Taste: Well balanced. A sweet touch on the tongue, accessibly subtle anise, and pleasant light touches of bitterness from grand wormwood and génépi.
Finish: Very smooth, silky on the palate. A finish of reasonable length, with some sweet hints remaining. Further glasses remain interesting without becoming overpowering. Will interest seasoned connoisseurs and beginners alike.
Gold medal for Blanche Neige at the Absinthiades 2014
The jury at the Pontarlier Absinthiades 2014 appreciated the high quality of our Blanche Neige. More than 20 different absinthes from the categories Blanche and Verte take part in this annual competition. This blind tasting is conducted by 3 different jurys, trying to identify the best absinthes from each category. Read more about the Absinthiades 2014 here.
We’re very proud that our very own absinthe was awarded the gold medal at this year’s Absinthiades. Blanche Neige faced fierce competition from 9 other clear absinthes in the category.
We were delighted and honoured to receive a certificate a few weeks later, declaring that Blanche Neige’s Gold Medal status.
